“I just don’t like seeing him struggle,” Jacqueline says when Nick has trouble with reading and begins to cry.

Has Teresa Giudice Supported Jacqueline Laurita & Her Son?

“Can I say that Teresa’s been there for everything that I’ve been through in my life? Not really,” Jacqueline admits. “When I was going through Nicholas…the way that Teresa dealt with it is, ‘Oh he’ll be fine.'”

Although Teresa hasn’t supported Jacqueline has much as she has supported her through her legal troubles, Jacqueline remains a great friend.

“Does it make me like her less? Of course not. Teresa was like a sister to me.”
